"Overall the place was very nice, the kids had a great time in the pool and hot tub. Loved the game room and the field for the kids to play in was fantastic. Also the views and weather were perfect.The only disappointment was, one of the beds had chips in it (from the previous renters) that we had to clean and under the couch cushions left a lot to be desired for cleanliness. Overall we enjoyed the stay."

"We loved this place. Super clean, lots of space to put your clothes, hiking boots, bags, etc. so you can enjoy the comfortable bedrooms and living space. Big picture windows made sitting inside on super hot days enjoyable. Modest but well apportioned kitchen. Great little deck outside to watch the sunset while enjoying your post-hike drink. We booked with the understanding that there would only be fans, and no AC, but to our delightful surprise, there was central air when we got there! It had just been installed in advance of a heat spell that was arriving about the same time we were. SUPER grateful for this type of care to their guests. They were also really responsive and clear about instructions, etc. 10/10 would book again."
